Causes of the formation of secularism in the western society
In the previous discussions, explanations were given about the causes and reasons for the formation of secularism in the western society. In this topic, we will examine the basic issues and the main causes of this issue.
1- Church rebellion:
The most important and fundamental reason for the formation and growth of secularism in the western society was the revolt and rebellion of the church and religious centers. In its essence, rebellion is a sinister thing and a dangerous disease, and it is a sign of the inherent defect and lack of personality of the person and the movement, and it is a wrong tool and a destructive disease.
A rebellious outburst would be somewhat reasonable if it was done by a pagan ruler or a materialistic leader; Although its malice and badness is not confirmed by any common sense; But if it is issued from people who are known as holy men and messengers of peace and students of the hereafter in the eyes of the society and the general public, it will be difficult for the human soul to bear it and it will be far from the mind to accept it.
The human soul has never been free of rebellion and rebellion; But the fear and fear of God and considering Him as present and watcher and considering oneself powerless in front of His power are the most important obstacles against it. But the church was empty of doing these things, and this is what caused it to become a worldly company that is greedy for social influence and fleeting worldly goods, and then, through various means, it became a power that made tyranny and oppression its profession. had been given.
Examples of rebellion and revolt in the church
The church had revolted and committed crimes in various aspects of the lives of the Roman people, the most important of which are the following:
religious rebellion
Since the official existence of Christianity in the “Council of Nicaea” in 325 AD. took place, the church was affected by rebellion and rebellion in the religious affairs of the people. In its first action, the church seriously and forcibly made the doctrine of the Trinity mandatory and banned and cursed its opponents.
Rather, he had even shed the blood of the polytheists and subjected them to all kinds of tortures. The church, through the holy assemblies, had appointed itself as God, who could make religious matters lawful and forbidden, annul part of the rules of the religion and add a part to the religion, no one had the right to protest and express an opinion, if Anyone who did such a thing would be deprived and his punishment would be a curse. Because he had become a disbeliever.
Many Sharia rulings were changed; In such a way that circumcision was obligatory but became haram, suicide of animals was haram but became permissible, statues and idols were polytheism and idolatry, but now it was an interpretation of piety and fear of God, marriage of religious men was halal, but it was forbidden and haram. , taking the property of the followers of the church was unseemly and wrong, but now it was necessary and assumed.
Many other things that were permitted or prohibited by the church councils were the result of the rebellion and revolt of the church.
The men of the church strengthened this type of their religious domination and the results that crystallized from it by claiming rights that only God owns. Rights such as “right of forgiveness”, “right of analysis” and “right of deprivation”.
The issue of the right of forgiveness had become a joke and a historical joke, as a result of which “forgiveness sukuk” (forgiveness checks) were made and distributed among people who want to be forgiven!
Deprivation was also a spiritual punishment that became a scary specter for individuals and groups. Countless people were affected by this deprivation and were somehow deprived of benefits and connection with the church, people like King Frederick, Henry, the fourth king of Germany and….
There was also a group harm to the British when there was a dispute between Malik Yohanna and Baba, and as a result, Baba deprived him and his people of religious affairs; In such a way that they were not allowed to pray in the church, they were deprived of marriage, and their dead were buried without prayer, and all the people lived in a kind of anxiety and distress, until Yohanna turned to Baba in a humiliating manner and confessed his mistake. And asked him for forgiveness, when Baba saw his humility and sincerity in repentance, he removed the ban from him and his Ummah.
The right of making halal was also exclusive to the church and it was permissible for it to deviate from the religious teachings and teachings and avoid committing to them. Like all the things that were forbidden and wrong in the Christian law, but the church made them permissible, or many things that were allowed in the Christian law, but the church made it haram.
The church was not satisfied with only this amount of religious rebellion, but declared war and military battle against all the people who are against this rebellion and mobilized many armies against them. This mobilization was not against Muslims or Jews, but against Christians who disagreed with the church in one of its beliefs or thoughts.
The church didn’t stop at this either, but to examine the issue more closely, it set up the “Inspection of Beliefs” courts. The first victims of these courts were the Muslims of “Andalus” and then it was transferred to the rest of the regions that were under the rule of the church. Its central and main court was called the “Holy Court” in Rome.
The court of inquisition, which was the level of examination and inquisition of intellectual and ideological opponents of the church, consisted of dark prisons that were located underground, there were special rooms for torture and tools for breaking bones and beating the human body. The torturers broke the bones of the legs first, then gradually broke the bones of the chest, head, and hands until the body was completely eaten and on the other side of the body, the crushed bones and the blood that had been eaten with the flesh came out.
This court had another tool for torture, which was in the shape of a coffin, and knives were also installed in it, and the victim was thrown into it and circulated, and the victim’s body was cut into pieces. There was another tool that was installed on the tongue of the tortured person and then it was cut into pieces, and another tool was used on women’s breasts, and they were removed from the roots.
With this public terror and religious revolt and rebellion, people were deeply afraid of the church, and no one had the ability to oppose the church and its men, and they remained silent against their beliefs.
